hi i don't know if this is the right sub forum to post this, so to the good moderators of this forum, if i posted on the wrong category can you just please move it to the right one thanks.,,
my problem is this., I've been browsing the net for a while and I'm having a hard time locating a tutorial or download site for an application software for layouts., kinda like in my space and such., I want to learn how to make this kind of applications

http://fscafe.net

can anyone direct me to some tutorial site or something., i really want to pimp my profile out in friendster.,

and by the way., the sample of the application that i want to learn is this

http://friendster-cafe.com/alienware-biolab/

as you can see i want to learn how to make the application to be installed., the applications on this site can be sometimes a little off and unable to be found that is why i want to create my own application kinda like this one so that i don;t always need to depend on the site's owner to fix the problem regarding his applications.,

i think this things are called widgets.,.,

anyone???

Ok you can create it from scratch with intermediate skills on server side languages (PHP, ASP, JSP...), but if you're short of time/money I'd suggest using an image-gallery system, and post your layouts as images, and also add descriptions or attributes to each of these images (which would be the instructions to install the layouts).

These galleries would also be grouped in albums (which will represent your layout categories).

Also you should apply some skins to hide the fact that it's a gallery and disguise it as a template management system

Some samples, free to download:

can i put animated images?? have you seen the samples on the links that i provided.,

[Hades]

Yes some gallery websites allow you to put animated images and even videos, I guess you should look at these lists and go through their demo pages to see which one has the features you need.

Also remember that I posted PHP based galleries, but you can also find them in other technologies.
